EARTHQUAKES.

On Monday, August list, earthquake
shocks were felt in various parts of the
United States. The shocks were generally
throughout Southern Illinois. At Jones'
boro, Illinois, the shocks were of sufficient
force to cause picture frames to fall from
the walls. At Huntsville, Alabama, de-
cided shock was felt, the people being
aroused by the noise and motion. The
vibration there was from south to north,
and was followed by a protracted tremor
lasting about twelve seconds. In Illinois
the vibrations were from different dlrec-
tons in different places.
At the time of the earthquake the farm
of Il. P. Hayden, in Trigg county, Ken
lucky, sank four or five feet. There were
three hundred acres in the farm. About
midnight everybody on the farm was
awakened by a sharp shock and had bare
lv jumped to their feet when the earth,
With a shaking, dizzy motion, suddenly
sank five feet, carrying houses and terri
fed darkies with it. The scene that en-
sued baffied description. The negroes fell
on their knees and in fierce tones prayed
the Lord to save them. Others began
shouting and praising the Almighty, and
ever and anon casting upward q glance TO
seei if chariots of fire were not descending.
Added to this pandemonium was the in
tense darkness which %pervaded, the moon
being completely obscured by heavy black
clouds, which hung very low and like a
pail over the doomed district. Rumblings
were heard from the depths below, which
Fgradually became louder, and many
Springs, hidden for years, suddenly found
an opening and began to bubble upward in
constantly increasing streams. The terri

fed inhabitants, not pausing for their
household goods or chattels gathered up,
rushed away from the spot, and some
of them are still putting as much distance
between them and the sinking land as pos
sible. The loss to property is incalculable;
A large area of corn and tobacco is a total
loss.
The country about the scene is low and
swampy and almost inaecessib!e in places,
save by old, beaten paths. Much of it is
wild and contains large, dense woods.
Golden Pond is a mere hamlet containing
two settlements of negroes, who exc out a
living by working on several large farms
owned by non-residents. The catastrophe
was undoubtedly caused by the earth
quake, as the rumbling sounds and vlDra-
tons felt were similar to those of SEISMIC
disturbance. Golden Pond is about 100
miles from the spot where a similar catas-
trophe occurred about seventy years ago,
when a lake of large area suddenly dlsap-
peared, leaving nothing but the bed, IN
the centre of which was a hole of unfath-
enable depth and several hundred yards

WHAT BECAME OF THE HERO OF FORT
SUMTER.-Maj. Anderson, after the sur
render of Fort Sumter, was appointed
a brigadier general in the regular army,
and sent to command the department of
Kentucky. The State was then in doubt
whether to become Union or non-union.
Gen. Anderson was averse to the action
which was liable to irritate its population
fires. The unpleasant responsibility of
his position and his ill health induced
him to turn over the command to General
Sherman. Anderson never took an active
part in the wal afterward. In 1870 he
went abroad in search of health, but failed
to find it. He died October 26, 1871.

FREDERICK THE GREAT.

The days of the historical "long bridge"
leading from Berlin to Potsdam are num-
bered-a bridge which played an impor-
tant part in the career of Frederick the
Great. In the days of that king all trav-
elers between the two cities were compell-
ed to pass over the bridge and few escaped
the mOnarch's notice while sitting IN the
study of his neighboring palace. But he.
of course, did not wish to be observed, so
he placed a mirror in the room, which &C.
curately reflected what occurred upon the
bridge. One day, in the evening OF which
a masquerade was to take place in Berlin,
he sat us usual at his desk, when glancing
in the mirror he saw q cavalry captain In
the act of crossing. He concluded at once
that the object of his ride was the masked
ball which his Majesty also intended to
visit, but had forbidden his officers. "A
few hours later the King started for Berlin
and appeared in the Opera House at the
proper time. His sharp eye soon recog-
nized the sinner in the mask of a noble
Venetian, and he followed him step by
step until he was thoroughly convinced
that he, had made no mistake. stepping
in front of the culprir and gazing at him
with a tranfxing glance, he Numbered,
"Mask, I know youw The officer, who
Immediately recognized the tones of his
King, was frightened for a moment. He
knew that a heavy punishment, possibly
dismissal, would be melted out to him.
But he collected himself and replied:
"Mask, I do not know you" MASK, you
are Cavalry Captain -" With a res
olution of despair the officer answered /:
eyes, but I am here without a leave OF ab-
sence. He is a scoundrel who betrays me-"
The King bit his lips. The answer was
unexpectedly collected and %imprudent.
But presently he said: upon my word
it realnains our secret"
The officer left the masquerade, hurried
to the hotel, sprang upon his horse, n
galloped back to Potsdam. On the follow
ing morning at s o'clock he appeared
punctually for duty in the Lustgarten,
whittier his regiment had been command
ed. The king soon began the review,
staring strongly at the captain as he passed
down the file. Suddenly he halted at the
centre. "Cavalry Captain -" resounded
his stentOrian tone. The officer, now GER
tain of his dismissal or long arrest, rode
forward in s~trictest military fashion, salut-
ing the King, as he thought, for the last
time. NEARER" commanded his Majesty,
as the captain stopped at the customary
distance. He obeyed. "Mask, you are a
major, but he is a scoundrel who betrays
it," "Upon my word, your Majesty, it re-
mains our secret, answered the officer, re-
lieved now of his heavy heart.
A year went by and the promotion re-
manned an u%nrevealed secret, the captain
doing his duty as hitherto. On the ami
versary of the event, when again present
ing his regiment to the King in the Lust
garten, the following parole orders were
read: Cavalry Captain - is promoted
to the rank of major, his patent dating
from a year ago to-day, and four weeks
leave of absence for the carnival in Ber-
lin."

CHEWING Coca LEAvEs.-The natives
of Peru chew the leaf of the coca bush,
from which the cocaine is extracted, and
it produces in a modified degree the same
results as the sulphate of cocaine when ia
ken internally, reports of whose ravages
appear in the papers from time to time.
The miners in that country will not work
unless twice a day for half an hour they
are allowed to chew their rations of leaves,
and then they are ready to endure any
hardship and work day and night. They
are absolutely enslaved by it., as it is said
that any n beginning to use it is bound
to be. .r.

THE ADVANTAGES OF WHITEwAsH.-
Whitewash has many uses but as a tire
extinguisher it has not hitherto been gen.
orally recognized here. "Do you know"
said a scientific gentleman the other day,
sthat it is next to impossible to burn a
Whitewashed fence? And do you know,
further, that in France, to protect frame
and the interiors of other buildings from
fire, the walls, beams, joists and the un-
derside of foorings are thickly coated with
limewash before they are placed in posi-
ton? It is so, and if this course, which
has prevailed abroad almost from time i'm
memorial, were adopted here it would
save many a house, many a village, from
destruction. I do not mean to say that 1t
will prevent the spread,of a fire once un-
der great Roadway j; but from its uninftam-
mable character it is a guard against the
prime ignition that often leads to dire re-
Suits" This little hint set the writer to
making inquiry among competent author
tiles, and full confirmation of the doctors
words was the outcome. " -
A very good whitewash is composed OF
lime slaked to the proper consistency TOR
application, into which (for inside work.
while hot mix a starch made from half a
pound of flour, or two ounces of common
white glue, thoroughly dissolved. For
outside work add to the above preparation
a handful of rock salt and as much soft
boiled rice. This will "stick" with uneX-
ampled certainty.

VALUE OF A DOCTORS SERVICES.

I was called at midnight to visit a gen
tlemen who had just returned from q late
dinner, where he had succeeded by nasty
eating in lodging a large fsh.bone in his
throat. sIGprovided myself with an emet-
ic, a pair e%sophagus forceps, and otner
paraphernalia designed to give him rellef,
and hurriedly repaired to his room; J.
found him pacing up and down the hoor
with a look of intense distress and ankle
ty, occasionally running his fingers down
his throat and gagging. He told me, IN
tones of despair, that he thought it was
all up with him, but begged me, if the
least g1immer OF hope remained, to pro-
coed at once Ia my efforts to relieve him.
He extravagantly declared in the generos-
ity of spirit begot by the v%ividness OF his
fears, that he would give a million dollars
to have that fish-bone removed.
/ assured him that such cases were ire
quent, and ordinarily not attended with
much danger, before proceeding to carry
out measures for relief. His fears under.
went some diminution on the strength OF
this, and he then declared that fifty thous-
and dollars would no more. than repay the
skill and art required toextricate the un-
welcome intruder. I smiled and proceed
ed to introduce the forceps, but after sew
erak attempts failed to grasp the bone:
His fears again induced him to mention a
fabulous sum as the need of the service
that would expel the object of his terrors.
I then gave him the emetic, its depressing
effect causing his generosity to rise again,
barometic-like, to a very high pressure;
In a little while the emetic disburdened
him of the greater part of his dinner, and
with it up came the fish-bone. He gave a
sigh and a look of relief, and solemnly
look; 3 toward me said, doctor, d!
wouloH't have, that thing in my throat
again Tor $5W Myfee eventually resolved
itself into the VALUABLE experience" that
the occasion afforded me.-Medical Record.
